Oops...

This was the appropriate command

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/Windows -t ntfs-3g -r -o unmask=0222

Well, what's your kernel version (is it older than that one asked)?

Code:

uname -a

You could upgrade your kernel if you like. If Fedora6 doesn't provide ready rpm packages for that trough yum upgrade, you could compile one manually also...easier done trough yum if possible.

I wonder if it's unmask=0222 or umask=0222, the latter one would sound better to me..

Open Pirut, search for "ntfs" and then install all the packages you see except these with the same name and newer version.Then just install the newer version.

I downloaded the patch to upgrade the kernel 2.6.22.5, I will install it soon; hope it works... Thanks..
